Title: Red Bull + No Doze
Post by Fr._Joe on Jan 17^th, 2007, 9:40pm

Out of desperation early this morning (around 2 am), I took a Red Bull, and then took No Doze. It worked! Anyone else tried this combo?

Of course there was more involved in this final approach, but I want to spare bandwith. BTW -- I ended up with Imitrex at 8 am. All things considered though I think the No Doze added something.

This question is directed at whoever feels they can answer it...

Isn't this a little too much to be doing to one's heart? Redbull, caffeine pills, and imitrex?

I think a Red Bull has 80 mg of caffeine - about as much as a small cup of coffee. Not sure about Nodoze, maybe another cup or two?

Since the apparent effect of taurine is to enhance the effect of other substances, it would seem you might get almost an amphetamine effect by doing this. Might not be good for the ol' ticker.

Glad it worked Joe.

No Doze has, if I remember right, about 200mg of caffeine equal to a couple cups of normal coffee.

The coffee I make equals about 5 no doze per cup or I get the double shot espressos on the road.
